What load returns

Asked to load a file containing the text (values 1 2 3), Racket, Scheme48/scsh, Guile, RScheme return 1 2 3 (3 values).

Chicken, Kawa, SISC, Chibi, Chez, Ikarus/Vicare, Larceny, Ypsilon, SigScheme, STklos return their standard undefined-value object.

Gauche returns #t 2 3 (3 values).

Bigloo returns 1 0 (2 values).

MIT, Gambit, XLisp, Sagittarius return various objects (1 value).

SCM doesn't like multiple values at the top level.

Mosh, IronScheme, KSI, TinyScheme, Scheme 9, Elk, UMB, VX, Oaklisp, Owl Lisp either don't support values or don't support load.

Common Lisp, for comparison:

• Return the path in a path object: ECL, Clisp
• Return the path as a string: CCL
• Return T: ABCL, CMUCL, GCL, SBCL

Emacs Lisp returns t.
